Mount Baldy: DEM

The image of Mount San Antonio, aka Mount Baldy (due to the absence of trees at its peak), has been with me ever since I was a child growing up in Diamond Bar. On a clear day the mountain was greet me as I went to school and traveled around town. The sentimental value of Mount Baldy was the reason I chose to make a map of this mountain for this lab.

At 10,068 feet, Mount Baldy is Southern California's tallest peak. This peaks marks the boundary between San Bernardino and Los Angeles County. Mount Baldy is the home of multiple sledding and ski runs, as it gets quite a bit of snow in the winter. Hiking Mount Baldy can also be quite a treacherous as the trails are covered with gravel and are adjacent to steep drops. I was able to hike up to the summit and saw a downed World War II era fighter plane that got lost and crashed into the mountain during a stormy day. The last couple miles to the summit were extremely difficult to climb due to the lack of switch backs. The trail pretty much went straight up to the top. The view from the summit was definitely worth the work as all of Los Angeles county can be enjoyed from the peak.
